    Storyline

    • Trivia
      While Hitler is speaking, he is handed a note mentioning that bad weather will ground his plane. It is not explained in the movie, but Hitler cut short his speaking engagement (and avoided Elser's bomb) so that he could catch a train instead.
    • Goofs
      In the first flashback to 1932, two young boys are shown trading cards of airplanes. One of the cards shows a Messerschmidt Bf-109, which one boy also calls a "Messerschmidt". But the Bf-109 had its first flight only in 1935 and entered service not until 1937, so it would not have been featured in a 1932 trading cards game.

    UNLUCKY 13
    Wow, well those were definitely the unluckiest 13 minutes of all time. 55 million deaths could have been averted.

    A really well made and acted movie about a story that I didn't know but certainly is worth knowing.

    Well paced and edited. Usually historical jump cuts don't work but they really worked well here.

    I thoroughly recommend this movie showing that it's in all of us to change destiny if we truly follow our convictions.
